Question
Chapter 20.12, Problem 1CR
Summary Introduction
An organism that occupies in the deep sea, face three crucial environmental extremes which include low temperature, low nutrient levels and high pressure. Additionally, the deep sea waters are entirely dark that will lead to hamper the process of photosynthesis. Therefore, the microbes that occupy in the deep sea must have the ability to grow under high pressure and are mostly chemotrophic.
